DRAMAQUEEN Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Rather then just using resin I would cut 45's out of mdf and then lay matt on top of that, it will save on resin. And allso if you mix your resin right it doesnt take too long to dry, mine normally is dry with in 2-4 hours depending on the weather. I was thinking that to.. just cut the 45's then throw a few coats of resin on the entire box? ... Like i said i know its probably not super important just cuz i only have 1000 watts on a pair of 12's ..

And allso if you mix your resin right it doesnt take too long to dry, mine normally is dry with in 2-4 hours depending on the weather. This is true...esp since the resin will generally CRACK as it cures esp if you mix it too "hot" (more hardener than neccessary) Also what is the correct way to mix that resin?? never used it, sorry for all the noob question s**edit** im sure theres lots of pics on here of the resin edges and the 45's mdf .. Anyone have any pics Read the label. With the Bondo brand resin I believe they say 12drops per 1oz resin..but you can mix it "hotter" (more hardener/ per resin ounce than that) depending on ambiant temp. A space heater will speed dry time if it's cold.

Torres Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 heater or work lights if you can get em close enough. in 30 degrees yeah it'll take a long time, but in warmer weather it can take like a half hour to dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRAMAQUEEN Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 2 more quick dumbass questions .. i know.. Before you lay down the resin is it necessary to run a bead of caulk around the entire perimeter then lay it down, or just brush the resin on? that make sense? And when doing 45 degree mdf corners what s the best way to get them tight ? glue then screw them in ?

Noobtastic14 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 the resin will seal it up- no caulk or silicone needed. and i always glue and screw my 45s just because of preference- is it required? idk but it doesn't hurt!! -Drew Quote I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

As in having 2 screws up top and bottom angled to go to the back and side s of the box or screw thm in from the outside , and what width you think is best for the corners? 2-3 inches , then 45 both sides?

Dale Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 with my 45s I just use wood glue and brads to keep it in place. Then caulk to seal it off nicely i don't think it will be necessary for you to use caulk before the resin since the resin will seal your corners for you anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
